The quiet hum of the tower's elevator was steadily drowned out by noise as more tourists piled onto it, their quest to get to the top over and done.

"Keep your head low. If we're lucky we won't draw too much attention….if we're lucky." Sonic laughed at Kyra's monotone remark. "Don't worry about it, Ky! I'm a bar tender for goodness sakes, I think I can blend in." Tails's ears perked up as he noticed Kyra put on a pair of dark sunglasses. "Why do you wear sunglasses? It's not even afternoon."

"The iris has a glow-in-the-dark quality to it. My eyes contain the same chemical that causes cat and dog eyes to glow at night, and even in normal light it gives off a small glow. Why?"

"Just wondering. Don't we have to pay to get into the Louvre? I mean, we don't have any money on us…"

"Leave the finances to me. You just keep an eye open for anyone following us."

Shifting a little, they climbed off the elevator. Sonic noticed that even though it was only about ten o'clock, the place was rather busy.

Tourists were taking buses en route to and from the Louvre and newly weds and such stood in cute poses in front of the Eiffel Tower while realatives or strangers took snap shots of them.

"It's about 3.4 kilometers from here to the Louvre, so if we walk at a brisk pace we can be there in…say under and hour or so." Kyra observed as she peered over her sunglasses.

Sonic looked at her with a raised brow, a wide grin on his face. "Walk-shmalk! C'mon! Let's blow this pop stand!" Kyra was about to ask what he meant, but was met by him scooping her up and a harsh speeding wind as he raced toward the famed art museum.

Sonic winced as she dug her nails into his skin, desperately holding on and shrieks of (what he assumed to be commanding to put her down mostly) terror being drowned out by the sharp whistle of the wind.

Moments later the Louvre was sitting in front of them.

Sonic laughed at the sight of Kyra. Her hair looked as if a bird had made it its nest and her glasses dangled on the brim of her nose, eyes widened in startlement. He raised a brow at her. "You okay, there?" She looked at him out of the corner of her eyes, her expression the same. She shook her head rapidly. "Please don't do that…"

Tails came up a minute later. "Couldn't have waited, could ya?" He grumbled. Sonic shrugged, a cocky grin on his face.

Straightening her glasses and fixing her hair, Kyra motioned toward the enormous museum. "C'mon. We'd best get going."

Walking into the Louvre was like walking into a giant mansion owned by the richest man on earth. An enormous spiral staircase was in the centre of the Pyramid entrance, and people were bustling about in a dazed, awestruck rush.

"Damn…we're gonna be lucky to find this bloke in this madhouse," Kyra muttered, peering over her glasses as she handed Sonic and Tails their tickets.

Looking around, Sonic raised a brow at her. "Who is it we're looking for exactly?"

Kyra kept looking around. "A demon by the name of -"

"Clarisse!" Sonic's ears swiveled toward a sharp French accent behind him. Turning about, they saw a blonde guard walking toward a brunette tour guide. They then began conversing in French, Kyra smirking at the sight. "Bingo…"

Scoffing, the brunette strutted away from the man, muttering and cursing under her breath. Kyra then propped her glasses on her head and called after her in a very flamboyant way, like a tourist would. "Excuse me! Madame!"

The tour guide halted and turned toward them. "Yes?" She said, her accent heavy. "What seems to be ze problem?"

Pulling out some papers, Kyra showed them to her. It seemed to be a map of the Louvre. "I was wondering if you knew the location of the Mona Lisa?" She then glared at her and pulled out her necklace, making sure the woman saw the symbol. "I'm dying to see it."

The woman's eyes widened in shock, she then pulled a straight face. "I- I'll take you on the tour…."

Kyra then motioned for Sonic and Tails to follow. They wandered through the museum for a while before 'Clarisse' snuck them into storage.

"Forgive me for being rude, Madame," Clarisse said once they were conceled from wandering eyes. The room they were in was completely concrete. Crates and other things were sprawled about. "But what exactly does the Council want from a spell-caster like myself?"

Kyra shook her head. "The Council does not want anything from you. I do." She then sat on a stool, arms folded. "I understand that you and a mortal had a disagreement about three months prior."

Clarisse glared at her. "Yes. What of it?"

Sonic then had an epiphany. "Whoa! You're the one that caused the attacks?!"

"Of course not," She barked, glaring at Sonic and Tails. "It was that cheating-! Bah! What does it matter?"

"Well," Kyra began again. "If you're obviously the spell-caster that turned him into a mooner, then who's been controlling him?"

Tails furrowed his brow. "What's a spell-caster and mooner?"

Kyra sighed and began explaining. "A spell-caster is the equivalent to a witch and a mooner is the sterio-typical werewolf. They only turn on the light of the full moon or when someone gains control over them. They hold no mind of their own when they turn, and if they're being controlled they can be forced to do anything against their will."

"So you cursed him just for the fun of it?" Sonic said, confused. Clarisse glared at him, hands clenched and bursts of green light coming from them.

"How dare you?!" She shrieked. "That bastard was sneaking out every night and seeing that..that…WHORE!"

Kyra stared at her as she then started crying before sucking back the tears. "Look," Clarisse said, calmer this time. "I held no intention of putting anyone in ze danger when I cursed him. I am sorry that something bad is happening to you, however the only thing I can provide at ze moment is his name and current address." She then pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled the 'mooner's' name and current residence on it before handing it to Kyra.

"I wish you luck, Madame." She muttered before leading them back outside, leaving the trio on the street.
